Goatzilla – Queensland Rock Beasts Release Fist Pumping New Single, Black Dog Blues

Goatzilla

Gold Coast Rock Beasts, Goatzilla, have released a rock n roll monster as the final single taken from their 2024 debut album.

Full of swagger and attitude, Black Dog Blues is a fist pumping Aussie rock anthem to rival the classics.

“Black Dog Blues” is an angry, riff-driven, bluesy rocker, the story of a life run off the tracks by the demon alcohol. “Everyone I know, knows more than one person who’s lost it all to booze” Says Ben about Goatzilla’s latest single. “This is for everyone who’s tried to help someone who’s gone off the rails – theres the anger at a life wasted, as well as the pain of losing someone you care about to the bottle. It’s a warning, really, and hopefully a reminder that it’s never too late to get help and stop.”

Despite the heavy subject matter, this stomping bar-room brawl of a track’s opening riff hits hard and fast and doesn’t take the foot off the gas until the final note. Bens Lemmy-soaked vocals play call-and-response with the twin guitar attack of Beardsley and Janssen. Janssen delivers the obligatory facemelting Goatzilla solo in amazing form, culminating in a truly eardrum-bursting 22nd fret bend and squealing feedback evoking the cry of pain that defines this track as the band drops into half time, before bringing us home with the final chorus. “Heed the warning, feel the music” says Ben. “This one’s from the heart.”
